We work on multi dwelling housing – town house development projects within the Sydney metropolitan and regional areas, Central Coast and Newcastle/Hunter areas. We provide initial planning advice, preparation of Statement of Environmental Effects and lodgement of the development application. We provide direction for dwelling yields and help get the project over the line.
Boarding Houses are becoming increasingly popular for savy developers. We work on a range of in-fill affordable housing and boarding house development applications made under State Environmental Planning Policy – Affordable Rental Housing 2009 (SEPP – Affordable Housing).

Testimonials
As an architectural designer, I have had regular communication with the planners at Outlook Planning and Development and cannot fault them. They are always clear and concise with their requirements, and are more than knowledgeable in regards to Council regulations and applicable legislative criteria. If you are looking to clarity in your project and would prefer to work with planners who can take the initiative, look no further. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with these guys, and I look forward to many more forthcoming projects.

Reducing Car Parking in CBDs
We explore the theory that as the amount of parking decreases, the appeal of driving gives way to more environmentally friendly transport modes such as walking, cycling, ride-hailing, car pooling and public transport.
